The Ralph Avenue Station has two side platforms and a full-length mezzanine half of which has been closed off, but is still visible beyond a fenced portion of the platform. Currently the only exit is towards eastern end of the platforms and is simply at the end of the opened mezzanine with the token booth and turnstiles. A closed exit that still has signs beneath the platform name tablets, and is still has mosaics along the mezzanine, used to lead to Howard Avenue. The station has the purple theme with white text on purple name tablets and a purple trim. This platform has no columns but all of those on the mezzanine are painted a turquoise blue with the exception of those around the Special waiting area benches in full view of the token booth that have been painted yellow, the only place in the entire subway system I've scene this. The column probably was painted to frequently either because one of them has a pay phone on it and the sign above it says Bell Atlantic, the phone company before 2000 and Verizon.
